There are a number of Peace Petitions already circulating on the World Wide Web, and many of them express wonderful sentiments in an articulate and powerful manner. In fact, you will find links to some of them within the AlohaNow! archives:

However, most print and electronic petitions are written by a small group of people, who then circulate the central statement for "signature" by those who read and approve of it. We'd like to offer an alternative approach to this process, one that relies upon the kindness, and thoughtfulness, of people like you.

Please take a moment to compose a line or two, then sign your name and tell us where in the world you're coming from. In this manner, we'll help establish a virtual 'ohana' (family), demonstrating the power of telecollaboration as we work together to create a unique document: the AlohaNow! Peace Petition.
